I am a Brazilian artist and illustrator with a BFA from FAAP, São Paulo (2010), a license to teach art for children from Belas Artes, São Paulo (2011), and an MFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Vancouver (2017). Over the years, I have taught art to toddlers, kids, teens, and adults.

​

My upbringing was characterized by frequent relocations with my parents, allowing me to call numerous cities around the world my home. I have lived in Chicago, New Zealand, Chile, Paris, Amsterdam, and Vancouver, and I currently live with my partner and our three cats in São Paulo, Brazil. These diverse experiences have profoundly shaped my aesthetic sensibilities, enabling me to draw inspiration from a rich tapestry of global cultures and artistic traditions.

​

My illustration style is playful and vibrant, characterized by bold, colorful imagery and a whimsical, figurative approach. Capturing what I see through painting is one of the most rewarding and challenging activities I pursue.
